Tweet tweet, tweet-a-leet…im all a twitter…

coolio hoolio, i am a twittering freak.  I am all about this new social networking craze–why, because i work in nonprofit communications/marketing and this is an AWESOME way to get the word out about your org.  So, i am facebook, wordpress, digg it, flickring, tweeting fool!!!  I am looking for a new job and i really need to have some experience with all the various possibilities…and their are literally thousands already.  no, i will not use this blog as an example of my best work.  I don’t blog from my work, but I blog about my nonprofit on other sites.

Its fun.  I unfortunately don’t have many friends following me right now because none of my friends are tweeting, although i have 75 Facebook friends and that happened over night.  So, i follow others and really enjoy reading the news this way and finding people to follow and read about their daily lives.  It is rather interesting.  i notice alot of bloggers out there tweeting and i assume this might be a good way to invite users to your blog.

Digg It is also a good way to get users to your blog.  I love Digg too because I absolutely LOVE the news and reading interesting news that isn’t necessarily from my usual reading list is very cool, very broadening i think.    I got more blog hits by posting my blog address to my Digg profile than any other way, but, i realized it too was tied to my gmail account so it could be accessed and i could be found eventually.  God, i would really hate that.  I love the anonimity of this mom in hell thing.  is anonimity a word?

I also really LOVE FLickr.  I have joined several photography groups and one of my photos one a cool award in a group.  it is really awesome when someone comments on a photo, invites a photo to a group or faves a photo of mine.  I am upgrading to a full account for my birthdya and plan on buying a new camera soon too.  I feel this is a hobby where i can make some local friends and I really need friends…more on that later.

so, now i have an alter ego everything…a new yahoo address, a new twitter account, a new digg account…i am a freak living a double life, but it is cool until i get bored with it.  As i have stated before, anything to divert myself.

btw.  I had a one night fling with a black guy on second life.  he asked me if i liked to swing—swing— on Amity Island—you can seriously see Jaws swimming in the ocean out there.  so we went skinny dipping, then went to the drive in and tried to make out.  It was interesting.  i got bored fast and realized by the weird pauses between conversation that he probably had a wife somewhere walking in and he was scared to get caught.

Did you read that story…hold on, i have to digg it up…lol…woman divorces husband for second life affair... seriously…this is fucked up.  it is true, there are two people dumb enough to meet on a virtual world site, have a virtual wedding and still live virtual lives while they sit side by side at their laptops…and then they divorce over virtual affairs.  Again, WHAT THE FUCK.

so, soon, maybe tonight i will try to figure out how to post my twitter address on my site and if you want to follow my tweeting i would LOVE IT.

Tomorrow, more about my wonderful week with Savannah—but tomorrow night could end it all cause we are going to the big city and she could go insane with all the lights and glitter.  ha ha

Have you noticed some of my sarcasm has wained, i’ve been pretty happy lately.

Summary:  Twittering is the next big thing—i bet in a year it is the BIGGEST thing in social networking.  Did you hear FB tried to buy Twitter and they would not sell—500 million freaking dollars?  read about it here.

I’m pissed because…I keep twittering and blogging and facebooking and flickring and I forgot to brush my teeth three days in a row  (ha, not really, but i haven’t shaved my legs in three weeks)

I’m thankful for:  I almost got laid on second life.  The dude looked just like the hot dude from criminal minds.

I am a person with an internet disability…people first ;)

Damn, i have been trying to post for a freaking hour tonight and now it is after 11 pm, and this could actually post on tomorrow which means i have already failed at posting everyday for a month, on day 3—but it is still day three to me!!!!   There are so many people out there with no idea what it means to be internet disabled.

I live in the boonies of hell…the term BFE come to mind?  Now, the big kids and i say B F’n E cause that is where we live…right in the middle of no internet connection hell!!!  Seriously, we live on a mountain of a huge hill and there are trees all around us and a river and the hill is so steep that we couldn’t go to town for four days in a row last year cause of ice.  NO RAILINGS on our little bitty suck-ass road.  So, of course, Verizon thinks that no way are these mountain folk gonna need high speed internet.

Satellite you say?  HA!  Ever heard the term “clear view of the the southern sky”?  Well, we don’t have it.

So, i resort to AT&T– for 75 bucks a month i have a little doohickey (yes that is a real word) hanging out of the side of my computer so that while i am upstairs, in my room or our living room up here, I can usually, but not always get some kind of internet connection—as long as the weather is perfect, and all the planets and stars are aligned properly.

Tonight, not so good!  I literally have been trying to post a photo to wordpress for an hour from my flickr account.  It is a great photo.  you should see it, but you can’t because my internet freaking sucks!  Then, right when it starts to go through, i can see that the thinking process has ended and the phto is about to upload…BAM, my little doohicky gets knocked off the side of the computer by my dumbass dog.  FUCK!

So tell me Mr. Verizon dude from the phone company that keeps pretending that all of his customers have internet broadband access—why the fuck is it that I live 27 miles from one of the biggest and best universities in the country and 18 miles from one of the top three public universities in the state of Texas…and only 27 miles from the high tech capital of the US (i think-right?)  and you don’t think it is cost effective to put in broadband cable?

Summary   YOU SUCK! Verizon that is.

I’m pissed because I live in the 1800’s out here when it rains or the wind blows a little bit i am stuck reading the weather on my cell phone.

I’m thankful for:   the internet—what in the hell would i be up doing all night long without it.
